Bizarre

Vinh, a boat-people refugee, who was adopted 20 years ago by a Swiss family, is going to marry. His birth mother, who stayed in Vietnam, takes the opportunity to take the trip and finally go meet this perfect family who raised her son. But it's been long since that the family Depierraz has exploded. The unexpected visit of Mrs Nguyen will create a turmoil. This will be the occasion for everyone to dive back into their forgotten roles of father, spouse, brother and sister, to become an ideal family, loving and full of complicity, to stage the fragile comedy of happiness. I took this out of a cinema festival program originally written in French, so excuse the imperfections. Personally this film was a bit too bizarre for me to enjoy but it was an interesting viewing.
